Premium Member A Ghostly Encounter

One night about 25 years ago
I was sat in my car at Cothelstone
Dx-ing on my CB radio in the wee hours
when my two dogs started to growl
every hair on their bodies on end
a most putrid smell entered my car
I heard the sound of hoofs churning
knowing it must be the headless horseman
I kept my eyes down as 't is said death comes
to those who look Thor in the eyes.

I was unwilling to drive away
as earlier I had erected an antenna
outside of the car fixed to a tree
the smell was almost over powering
and I  could feel its gaze upon me
it felt as if Thor was willing me to look
my dogs were whimpering then howling
no way was I raising my eyes oh no!!
'T was but an hour or so till dawn
slowly the smell faded and my dogs calmed down

As soon as it was light enough 
I let them out and got the antenna down
vowing never again to spend a night here
thoroughly spooked by this experience
I looked around and saw churned ground
with clear hoof prints as the horse had
milled around my car, calling back my dogs
who gladly jumped in, we drove off
I have returned since but only in daylight




DX-ing long distance radio contacts
this is a true story there are many tales   of Thor the headless horseman who rides the 
hills from East Quantockhead through Shervage Wood past Will's Neck through 
Cothelstone to the Quantock edge and back all agree if you look into his eyes within 
a few weeks you will be pushing up the daisy's. All I can say is I have seldom been so terrified


Premium Member A Dear-John Epistle

the diamond
     he thought he plucked
          is not
               the real McCoy. 

huge thunderbolt he...
     never saw
          coming! 
               his main squeeze

dumps him
     with dear john
           epistle.

Premium Member Speed Dial

Hang ups, 
I’ve got plenty of those 
Like a phone with
too many busy signals,
I couldn’t get through to you.

I think the number  you gave me was out of service.
You said, “Dial me up”
but the damn phone was a push button. 

I called long distance,
the operator said
“Put another quarter in.”
Sadly I only had one thin dime. I wonder if I should have called collect?

All along you had my number. You could have,
given me a ring. After-all I was the marrying kind.
It seems my dial tone was slightly out of tune??

I scratched your number out of my little black book. It was time to find another connection. 

I could say I don’t remember you, but that would be a lie.
You are the crush that never made it to speed dial.

Long Distance Love Letter

Long Distance Love Letter

Until the time is right my love, these words I send to you
I send them post haste, hoping to land with the morning dew
Take my kisses in and place them on your lips for me
Then you can return them warm, please hear my plea.

Kisses sent across the miles, catching the evening breeze
Weaving through the thermals, waiting for you to seize.
Still warm from your caress, I’ll hold them to my lips
Not to miss each other as the fated passing ships.

Anticipation, excitement, building all the while
Expectations not too high, that wouldn’t be my style
Fingers touching, lips brush, hearts race as one
The waiting nearly over, since my heart you won

Waves crashing, smoothing, to ripples on the shore
Leaving behind a feeling, a longing then for more.
I close my eyes and say goodnight until one day we meet 
Across the miles so far away you’ll still feel my own heart beat.

Life : a Tremendous Possibility

Life is like, 
A Snake in an eagle nest. 
Life is alike,
A worker at its best. 
Life is like, 
A torch bearer with no rest. 
Life is alike, 
A long distance runner who is not exhausted. 
Life is like, 
A prophet at its mightiest. 
Life is alike, 
A navigator who loves to go the longest. 
Life is like, 
A narrator who explains in its shortest. 
Life is alike, 
A predator who attacks at its deadliest. 
Life is like, 
A teacher at its greatest. 
Life is alike, 
The beauty of nature in its minutest. 
Life is like, 
A doctor who serves without rest. 
Life is alike, 
A pearl at its deepest. 
Life is like, 
A king who rules at its hardest. 
Life is alike , 
A beggar who stands as the modest. 
Life is like, 
A goal to be reached at its earliest. 
Life is alike, 
In all form the fittest, the richest and the mightiest.

Forced Juggernaut

I haven’t a brain become lost in concentration 
lacks stamina needs long distance training 
aid ambition camped up a state of stationed 
life journey minimal foresight expectation 

Many abide by rules living life caught
influenced actions through influencing thoughts
I seek the unsought alike a juggernaut 
thoughts of others in me unthought

I’m not the sort they can lock in a cage 
my mind seeks knowledge too misbehave 
this impulsive behaviour breeds you brave 
my impulses pulsate I masquerade 

Alternative thinking I can’t alternate
we reach same outcomes different ways 
where I stand it’s all you who are strange
bigger picture’s I render our species range

Untwine

It lays helpless at the foot of the hill gasping for breath, while the shadows drifts slowly over the hardened earth and thickened skies. The scent of the gully birds kept meandering around strange daffodils with courageous scent filtering in the promiscuous skies. 

I have learnt that starfish and clams are not the smartest creatures but when they bond together there is no breathing space for the clam to waiver. The bowerbird with its sugary nest scampers around the logs, watching the chipmunk tunneling through the hole while the squirrel kept swinging from door to door and the queen bee kept spewing honey on the wooden floor. 

A loud noise echoed from across the horizon crashing through lofty mountain sending billows of smoke through the dented skies. The ashes travels for miles sand and dust mixed with the earth’s crust dancing to the alligator rhythm and the cicada kept its tune for the mass schedule at noon. The beaver stands next to the door watching the giant anteater walking on the shore, while the sea gulls kept asking for more.

I stood from a long distance watching the piranha drifting towards the shore and the gold fish swimming behind its tail with a blood spot on its veil, as the shadows of human encountered with the drill the piranhas plunges in the ocean plate and the mammoth come flying out of nowhere busting down the gate and the fish swam freely towards the shore and migrate into fresh clean waters. 

It was a scene that I could never forget; it kept me static on the deck as the ships starts rolling in the voices began to sing and everyone caught on to that mystifying rhythm. I am Free.

Premium Member Sweethearts

How I miss what I never had
Long hot kisses kinetic cranberry flavored
As I struggle with my need to breathe
Every breath in and out for you
The deepest fuzzy feelings ferment 
In every fiber of my body my soul
We are so close yet so far
Long distance love challenges so unique 
Yet we climb each mountain peak
Standing victorious in each others heart
Violet veins pumping the same goals
Hopes purple passion and old fashioned needs
I’m unable to flee from you
Because you are inside of me
It’s pleasant and peaceful 
How you make love to my mind
With only your words so kind
And I am grateful for whatever 
Way we connect be it chats
Or email or internet 
We have only a moment to blink
And find reasons why we think 
Time is on our side
And we surf it like ocean tide
I think we are very special
And as you say
The heart wants what it wants
So it’s not really a problem 
Being apart when we are an island 
Intellectually connected and destined
We have beat the odds
And now we can be sweethearts 
For as long as blessed by God

Long Distance Relationships

Now my hands buried
In my pant, my hair all mated
Resting on my warm:
In the back of my head
"The vulva is an altar, and the pubic hairs are the flames upon the altar."(quote)
resting on my warm...was your imaginary hands,
Your notification startles me
A cold bed, noisy neighbors
And all I want is you.....

You are my one and only desire,
I crave your body, your soul
Your heart, and your only yours(quotes)
July 8th, 2022, I fly over the cuckoo’s nest
Here I am today with you feeding my addiction
this admiration without love is the fruit of reflection
Your values, my custom, and my abilities to comprehend:
One day you will search through the lonely earth for me,
However, would I be there,
Would I at the moment in time care?
My library card is overdue/ or it my libido (??
Don’t make me beg, don’t make me cheat
My friends said to me,
The sweetest lips deserve a kiss
But whom am I to ask for this (quote)Pj.)
My true confession of a low sX.s .s drive, chick.
